QUESTION - Is Being Busy a Valid Reason for Distance?

The Conscious Love Show - A podcast by Shane Kohler

In today’s episode of The Conscious Love Show, we tackle a common relationship question: Is being busy a valid reason for distance? If you’ve ever felt pushed away by a partner who claims to be too busy to connect, or found yourself justifying emotional distance with the busyness of life, this episode will provide insight into this dynamic. We’ll explore how busyness can sometimes be a genuine reason for lack of connection, but also how it can be used as an excuse to avoid deeper intimacy. I’ll share how to communicate effectively about your needs, how to tell the difference between a valid reason for space and avoidance, and how to ensure that both partners prioritize the relationship without feeling overwhelmed. If you’ve been unsure whether to give your partner the benefit of the doubt or confront the issue, this episode will help you make a clearer decision about how to move forward.
